Jenny, Hi and welcome. Just to let you know, there are a few NJ people here but most of us are from other places. I am in Chicago. You have just stumbled into the best place on Lap Band Talk. You will not find a nicer more supportive group of people then we have here. Good luck with the consult, please tell us a bit more about yourself. ~Mandy

Good Morning Ladies, I'm on hold with Disney trying to apply my free dining code. If anyone wants it, it is ZHQ, it's good from mid August through the end of Sept. You have to stay in a Disney Resort, buy at least one park day and the free dining is good for the length of your visit. It is saving me over $900 for 10 days. The normal price for dining plan is $38ish for adults and $17 for kids plus tax. We are going for 10 days. I am sooooo excited. And I actually saw 158.5 on the scale for the last 3 days in a row. So much better then the 160.5 for the last 6 months. It's just possible that I could be at goal by the time my trip rolls around. ~Mandy

Howdy, All!

Same old nothing going on around here.

Mandy - HUGS! Sorry about the scary tumor. Hopefully you will be able to get it taken care of with a minimum of fuss. Glad to hear Abi is stable. Stable is good...

Kat - yeah, Halal is the only meat that Muslims are supposed to eat. It is butchered a particular way and blessed by holy men. BIL/SIL are Muslim. DH and I use it mostly because it is always the same low price, it's really fresh and it has better flavor. It's also handy to have some acceptable food products on hand for company. :]

Cindy - Thanks so much for writing me the letter... Hugs!

Jenny - HI!!! Welcome to our little corner of LBT. I am one of the furriners... I live in Dallas. :] So, tell us all about you.... Husband? Kids? Work? Enquiring minds want to know. Welcome, again!

Sherry - I am jealous of your Disney Chicks! Hope y'all have a great time! Oh, and don't let's get started on those crazy BIL's! I have THREE. Sheesh!

Well - Where the heck is everybody? Am I going to have to round up some more flying monkeys? Check in, people. We miss you!

Sherry, no guilt for you...I go every year without Abi. Try that for guilt, she's only 5. But we manage to go and have a great time :) . I will be there and I'm willing to be a tour guide if you chickas need it. I can also help you make dining plans and such. I have the extra magic hours for the dates that I am there. I have unlimited long distance if you want me to call either of you guys. ~Mandy

So we are booked! Staying at Pop Culture, so we're right around the corner from you Mandy I think. I'd love to have lunch some day. It will be SOOOO great to meet!! We'll definitely let you know if we have any questions or need any advice. The best part - our trip including airfaire, meals, room, 6 days of tickets, five nights, and transfers - $650. Not bad, huh?! Thanks again for the advice Mandy!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
